Let's Cry !!!

Let's Cry!!!

Let's cry

From all the fronts, from all sides .

Because they fear.

Our cry becomes dangerous

For their conspiracy they hatch .

And our silence encourages

These killers to kill more,

To inflict more pain,

To celebrate our poverty, mourning and helplessness.

Whenever we stop crying.

They start raining with

Bombs, bullets, and poisonous designs.

In complete madness, they take

To shooting , to bombing , to maiming  and then to torching us.

This makes us silent forever.

See in Iraq, what they did.

See in Egypt, what they are doing.

See everywhere; all around you

These monsters quenching their thirst

With the blood of innocent people.

They wear smile on their lips.

They seem friends.

But stab always on the back

They are the real man eaters on earth

Because they have no respect for women.

No love for children.

They are shameless.

I ask : how long will we be silent spectators ?

How long will we allow them to kill our people?

How long will we overlook their misdeeds ?

How long will we wait for retort?

How long will we see innocent lives on the gallows?

How long will we take to unite and fight these tyrants?

I must say: Let's cry

Let's cry... Let's cry...

Till they are scared to death.

Till everyone have enough to live.

Till everyone sleep happily. __________Sohrab Alam Ansari
